The Scientific Method According to Mr. Latimer

»  Problem

    ¤     The purpose of this project is to make the process of easily calibrating a digital camera easier and more accurate than it is at the current time.

»  Hypothesis

    ¤     That there is some kind of manipulation of detected corner points in images that will make the final calibration more accurate than what has been achieved.

»  Procedure

    ¤     Before I start what was originally my project--finding useful changes to the detected corner points--I will rewrite Zhang's method to make it more customizable so that 1) I can use it in Linux and 2) I can make my changes to the process in the calibration program rather than in scripts, which are annoying to retype. That latter step may take the rest of the year to finish.
